The 26 best movie drinking games

Not only will your friends be happy that they won’t have to grab a taxi to get home, but it’s also a great way to watch some of your favorite or new films and get a little tipsy at the same time.

#1 Mean Girls. A girl from Africa movies to America and experiences high school culture. This movie is still completely relevant now, even though it’s over a decade old.

#5 A Nightmare on Elm St. You need to get drunk to a horror movie at least once. This movie is about Freddy Krueger who haunts the dreams of the children who live on Elm Street. Why? Because when poor Freddy was younger he was fried to death by their parents. Slightly extreme, right?

Drink when: you’re not sure if it’s a dream, Freddy Krueger is in the scene, John Saxon appears, or when you see the exterior of Nancy’s house.

#6 Napoleon Dynamite. It’s about an outcast high schooler who gets bullied while trying to get the girl and helps his friend become the class president.

Drink when: you see or hear “vote for Pedro,” Uncle Rico talks about his high school days, Napoleon says, “heck yes!” or “yes,” every time you see tater tots.

#7 Fast Times at Ridgemont High. This movie goes over all the things that happen in high school: sex, drugs, rock‘n’roll, weed, and masturbation. All the juicy stuff.

#8 Pulp Fiction. If you haven’t seen Pulp Fiction, well, I don’t know what to tell you. It’s a classic. This neo-noir crime film is filled with violence, pop culture references, and dark humor. Plus, there’s a great dance scene between Uma Thurman and John Travolta.

Drink when: the main character gets shot, a pop culture reference is made, almost everyone in the scene is dead, Quentin Tarantino cameo, and during the dance scene.

9 Die Hard. It’s a classic action film. Bruce Willis plays the sexy, humble guy, John McClane, who, at the end of the day, you just want to sit down and have a beer with. That’s why people love him.

#10 Showgirls. This is an amazing cult classic that if you haven’t seen, you need to. Watch it the first time without getting drunk and then watch it again with a shot glass. It’s about a small-town girl who goes to Las Vegas to make it big.

#11 The Room. It’s possibly the worst movie ever made, so you have no choice but to drink while watching it. I don’t even know where to start—the bad acting, the cheesy lines—okay, okay, I’ll stop. Just make sure to watch it with a bottle of gin.

Drink when: There’s an awkward sex scene, when someone says “hi,” when you see a football, or when someone says something so uncomfortable you cringe.

#12 Swingers. It’s about a couple of guys that go out and discover the in’s and out’s of women and relationships. The great part about Swingers is the dialogue. So, that’s what you’ll be drinking to.

#13 Marvel movies. Whether you’re watching Iron Man, The Avengers, or The Hulk, grab a shot glass and get ready. They’re fun movies to watch because it’s all about the action, so, if you’re busy drinking, you won’t need to worry about losing the plot line.

Drink when: There’s a fight scene, something explodes, the world is coming to an end, or when someone talks about S.H.I.E.L.D. Just don’t end up in the hospital, please.

#14 The Lord of the Rings. The Hobbits go through a treacherous journey in order to destroy the ring. You’ll need to drink through this movie because it’s three hours long. It’s good, just long.

Drink when: someone talks about “The Ring,” when hobbits bond, when you see hobbit feet, when you see the Eye of Sauron, or when Frodo falls down.

#15 SinCity. This movie follows the story of three people living in the crime-ridden town, Basin City.

#16 James Bond. It doesn’t matter which James Bond film you’re going to watch, as long as he’s asking for a martini, then you’re good to go. There’s sex, violence, charm—everything you need for an action-packed adventure film.

Drink when: Bond kills someone, when someone says James Bond, Bond, or 007, when Bond asks for a martini, when Bond has sex, and when there’s a naked or half-naked woman.

#17 Shaun of the Dead. This is a classic zombie comedy which needs to be watched while drinking. This British comedy is about Simon and Nick, two friends trying to escape the zombie apocalypse that overtook London.

Drink when: someone mentions a pub or Winchester, when someone is watching TV, or when one of the main character dies.

#18 Jurassic World. If you’ve seen Jurassic Park, well, you probably couldn’t contain your inner child knowing Jurassic World was being made. It’s all about dinosaurs.

Drink when: A dinosaur attacks another dinosaur, someone is wearing inappropriate shoes, there’s some bonding between characters, talks about genetic hybridization, or dino saves the day.

#19 Magic Mike. I don’t want to ruin the movie, but it’s about male stripping. So, I’ll leave it at that.

#24 Hackers. You don’t have to be a computer nerd to appreciate this movie. It’s about a young boy arrested for writing a computer virus. Years pass, he and his new friends decide to unleash the computer virus he wrote.

Drink when: you hear 90’s dance music, someone is in the hacker zone, you hear computer jargon, or Angelina isn’t wearing a bra.

#25 Critters. A furry alien race eats the locals in a small farming town. Oh, the horror!

#26 Anchorman. We all know Anchorman, it’s a goddamn piece of comedic genius. Basically, it’s about Will Ferrell, aka Ron Burgundy, who’s a news broadcaster that has to share the stage with his new female co-anchor, Veronica Corningstone.

Drink when: Every time Ron addresses San Diego. Every time Ron tries to pick up a woman. Every time Brick Tamland says something completely stupid.
